Sweden, Finland and Estonia


We just got back from a very glorious trip to Sweden, Finland and Estonia. Alan and I loved Finland. It was the place where Alan served his mission, so he loved going back. It was so much fun. We walked and walked and saw it all. We landed in Sweden, and toured Stockholm and Gamla Stan (Old town Stockholm) for 3 days. Took an overnight cruise to Helsinki, Finland. Very fun to watch the islands, and homes between the two. Watched the sunset about 10:00 PM. It never really got completely dark. Some of the Swedes go out golfing at 3:00 AM. Toured all over Helsinki for 5 days. The day before we came home we took a day trip over to Tallinn, Estonia. Got up very early to go to Tallin, and stayed there until about midnight. Had to get up at 3:00 AM to catch our flight. Needless to say, the trip home was very long, with not much sleep. It was entirely worth it. We loved being with our friends and family. Marcie, Travis, Zane and Mace were with us. We also traveled with Travis' parents, and brother's family.
